My laptop is Toshiba satellite please help me my mom is gonna kill me :/

This could be anything from a loosened connector to a cracked display panel. You need to get it to a service center where it can be properly diagnosed. And next time, be a little more careful when handling such expensive items.
Rather take it to repair shop and let them diagnose since you probably dont have any experience in opening laptops, eithet lose connection or something serious, that would be my suggestion.

It will be worse if you don't tell her now.
She'll find out eventually.

It might be a cheap fix, it might be a full replacement. No way to know until it id diagnosed.
